Tug of War Between One's Will and Writer's Block

"I still got some ink in my pen;  I know I can do this!,"
goes one's will.

"No dice, my brain is like scrambled eggs right now,"
replies writer's block.

"I CAN DO THIS, I REALLY CAN! THIS IS GO-TIME!,"
screams one's will.

"Hey! Not now...I'll tell you when!,"
writer's block screams back.

Quite an amicable relationship...
 between these two.
